Speaking of unmovable objects:

• God’s kingdom shall not be moved. Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: Heb 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire
• Christians trusting in the “Rock of Ages” shall not be moved. Psa 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Psa 112:6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. Psa 112:7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
• Unfortunately, the non-Christian, in his pride “THINKS” – hath said in his heart, that he shall not be moved.
Psa 10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
Psa 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
Psa 10:5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
Psa 10:6 He hath said in his heart, I SHALL NOT BE MOVED: for I shall never be in adversity.
In reply to this last verse, Spurgeon commented: “O impertinence runs to seed! The man thinks himself immutable, and omnipotent too, for he, he is never to be in adversity. He counts himself a privileged man. He sits alone, and shall see no sorrow. His nest is in the stars, and he dreams not of a hand that shall pluck him thence. But let us remember that this man's house is built upon the sand, upon a foundation no more substantial than the rolling waves of the sea. He that is too secure is never safe. Boastings are not buttresses, and self-confidence is a sorry bulwark. This is the ruin of fools, that when they succeed they become too big, and swell with self-conceit, as if their summer would last for ever, and their flowers bloom on eternally. Be humble, O man! for thou art mortal, and thy lot is mutable.”


The contrast of the Godly and the Ungodly is notable in Psalm 1 Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Psa 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Psa 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Psa 1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psa 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Just note the firmness of the Godly- he is as firm as a tree planted by rivers of water…yet the ungodly will be blown away by the wind.
Do you think you are unmovable…and if so, what do you base it on? Are you Anchored in Jehovah…on the Rock of Ages. Or do you trust in your own pride?

Pro 10:25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.



As the old hymn says.
1. Glory hallelujah,
I shall not be moved
Anchored in Jehovah,
I shall not be moved;
Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,
I shall not be moved.

3. Though all hell assail me,
I shall not be moved;
Jesus will not fail me
I shall not be moved.
Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,
I shall not be moved.

4. Though the tempest rages,
I shall not be moved;
On the Rock of Ages
I shall not be moved.
Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,
I shall not be moved.


It is no cleverness to pose the question of the rock that cannot be moved. We need not even be on the topic of theology to be puzzled by the equally conceivable things as an unmovable object and an irresistible force –that has been a philosophical example for years.
